Beautiful makeup, interesting earrings.
I'm not sure I really like the whole look but then I always prefer simple looks as in not too busy.

On her movie Celeste and Jesse Forever:

Rashida Jones and her writing partner Will McCormack were feeling total relief and exhilaration after the world premiere of their movie Celeste and Jesse Forever.

It came after having to sit through the unveiling of the film at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday.

"That was like an extraterrestrial experience," a visibly relieved Jones told USA TODAY. "We were just bugging out at the screening."

"We were doing deep breathing exercises," said McCormack.

"They were not working," Jones added.

It was a large showcase for the comedy starring screenwriter Jones and SNL's Andy Samberg as high school lovers now going through a divorce. More than 1,ooo moviegoers packed into the standing-room-only screening in Park City, Utah.

Jones and McCormack, who also has a large part in the movie, have worked for more than three years to get the project onto the screen, and their friends and family (including Jones' father, Quincy Jones) were on hand to celebrate the culmination of that effort. Add the fact that it was the biggest movie theater the two ever sat in -- you get the pressure.

But to their immense satisfaction, the audience went along for the comedic ride. "It really worked," said Jones.

Sundance festival director John Cooper might have said it all when he introduced Celeste.

"This kind of film makes my job easy," he said.

After the premiere, the cast celebrated at the Acura Studio with a private dinner at which Elijah Woods (who plays Jones' unintentionally hilarious boss in the film) served as DJ behind the turntable.

Co-star Emma Roberts, who plays a seemingly vapid pop star in the film, said that after an emotional premiere ("I was wiping away tears") she was ready to celebrate the success.

""The Celeste posse is back together," she said. "Now we're going to have some fun."

I think she is so beautiful. I absolutely love the freckles on her nose .

I do have to say though that I think she looks much prettier with side swept bangs. They make a big difference in her appearance. Although she is beautiful regardless .

And tentacules97 I watched her interview with Piers Morgan as well and it just made me fall in love with her more! I was already a big fan (love Parks and Rec!) but it was nice to see what she's like in person. Definitely a genuinely lovely and very sharp witted individual.

This is from June 2011:

A Jones for Rashida

Hot in The Social Network, funny on "Parks and Recreation," Rashida Jones swings both ways in her next role as a (yes) girl-on-girl-loving lawyer in Our Idiot Brother

In this summer's comedy Our Idiot Brother, there is a hot lesbian make-out scene between Rashida Jones and Zooey Deschanel. This is very likely to be the only fact you will remember from this article. There will be several more facts to come—in due course, we might touch upon Jones's Harvard degree, her volunteer work with Michelle Obama, her celebrity parents... But after a spoiler alert like that, the rest of this stuff is bound to read the way Charlie Brown's teacher talks. So perhaps this is a good time to slip in some caveats. To begin with, the make-out scene in question occurs at the family dinner table (not, alas, on the dinner table), and the table is filled with relatives, including one slightly panic-stricken mother. Most distractingly, Jones is wearing a pair of ginormous eyeglasses that look like something a Brooklyn graphic designer swiped off the Unabomber's face. And yet. Chalk it up to the limitless capacity for the male mind to block out distracting mise-en-scène, but the sequence is still pretty hot. For Jones, it was a personal milestone of another kind: "I feel like I've come a long way from my first job, when I had to get mouth-to-mouth resuscitation from Rip Torn."

In this age of Webby, Jezebel-y mud fights about pretty girls, funny girls, and who belongs inside that supposedly slender portion of the Venn diagram where they intersect, Jones is a rare consensus figure. She is tremendously undislikable. Partly that's because, at 35, she's been semifamous for only a few years, meaning she'd had the time to become an actual person first (this despite being the offspring of two very famous parents, Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton). And partly because she has that gift of looking amusingly bemused or agreeably agitated, which comes in handy given the all-star comic ensembles in which she finds herself with staggering regularity. "A question I get asked a lot is 'What is it like to play the straight guy all the time?' And I'm totally okay with it," she says. "I'll never be the person doing a cartwheel and landing with my skirt over my head. That's just not who I am." Her job on Parks and Recreation, which just wrapped up a breakthrough third season, is to provide an occasionally flustered, frequently perplexed center of gravity for the local government lunatics in her orbit. "Every week," she says, "someone on that show will tickle me in a new and fun way. Wow, that sounds really bad. Please put that next to a topless picture of me in GQ." Done.

When it comes to the dateability factor, actress Rashida Jones has it all: she’s smart, talented, down-to-earth, and funny — incredibly funny. And, aside from her role as the affable Ann Perkins on Parks and Recreation, she’s also starring in the upcoming drama Celeste and Jesse Forever. Read an excerpt from her interview with Nylon Guys and check out our exclusive photos from the shoot.
On her role in The Muppets:

“It was really, really, really weird to work with the Muppets. Like, Holy **** - there’s a scene with me and every single Muppet! That will exist forever.”

On screenwriting:

“Writing hurts my brain…it’s so hard, and it’s nice to do something really hard as an adult.”

On always playing relatable, down-to-earth characters:

“God, I need to go play, like, a crack wh*re right now!”

On her passion for music:

“If there’s ever a time when I quit acting or take a hiatus, I would love to go back to school, take music theory, go to a conservatory, get really good at an instrument, and then lock myself in a basement and make some weird free-jazz album…that would be my dream come true.”
